Developing e-Portfolios with Blackboard

Electronic portfolios are becoming more widely used by faculty and students for assessment and documenting student learning, as well as for sharing and showcasing work. This session will provide an introduction to the use of ePortfolios in higher education, and explore possible uses to support teaching and learning here at VCU. The Blackboard Portfolio tool simplifies the organization and publishing of electronic portfolios. Participants will gain an overview of the portfolio tool and create a sample portfolio of their own.
